We have only just begun.

Christmas eve 2007 at 1 minute to midnight, Paul asked my Daughter Danielle to marry him.

AWWWWWWWWW

He would have been gutted had she said no...... tee hee.......... [ and i would have decked her ;-)]

As it was she said yes.

He took dragged her off the sofa, where she was slobbing after her bath, and clad only in her *Comfies* he blindfolded her dragged her half way round the M25 [bet she was thinking she was being sped off to a luxury holiday to warmer climes....lol...... Gutted.....] so after a half hour of sight deprivation she was finally led into a field and up to an old derelict church on a hill in Essex [mind you that could be anyone of the churches in Essex....sheesh........ they don't look after those places do they]........ anyway

He had decorated a small tree with fairy lights, he stood her in front of it, and probably said something like "Will you marry me".

It looks like blossom in the picture, don't it.
Very pretty.

Thankfully she said "YES"......... *Whoohoo* at which point we all jumped out from behind headstones, Yew trees, and out of Crypts [well to be honest that last one was the MIL....lol]......then Two hundred rockets went off lighting up the Essex skyline, she had no idea we were there *titter* had she known she would have run a mile .
She ..................then spent half hour complaining about not having any make up on!!!!!....
